Well first of all: thanks for the great newsletter :)
And surrealism, my favorite "movement" and one that I spent a lot of time with in the last months. The exhibit sounds fantastic, won't make it to Paris until January, but will hopefully catch it in Hamburg next year! Did you get the exhibit book? I'll probably order it ahead.
I totally agree the surrealist would have loved the liminal space of AI art, I always thought the stuff we did with Disco Diffusion about 3 years ago was especially uncanny, giving lots of room for interpretation. And, at the art biennale 2022 there was Slovenia artist Marko Jakše, you might wanna check his work out (https://www.labiennale.org/en/art/2022/slovenia-republic)
The "Infinite Driving" game sounds scary, and their website is ... ahm, retro. But what a wild concept.
Then I read "The Playwright in the Age of AI", reads like a weird play in itself to be honest. Maybe because I'm not in the theater bubble.
Ha, and the novel written by agents - I'll take a look, but its really close to my concept for NANOGENMO, only I have it generate screenplays. It's not done yet, I'll let you know when I put the code on Github. (Ok, this looks about one order of magnitude more complex that my project, and I just use Claude API)
And re radiomap - I used radiogarden for a while, think it's pretty much the same, plus they have a cool app.
The Last Murder at the End of the World sounds fun. I just finished "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" which was quite fun, albeit sometimes a little too much "self-inserting" by the author. Oh well.
Finally, do check out "Mirrormaze" and "Somniscope", which are 2 short story anthologies from the Dreampunk genre. I have a story in each, but I think you might enjoy the variety of stories in each. Jeff Noon ("Vurt") wrote one for Somniscope.
Hi - I definitely bought the exhibition catalogue (it's massive and was heavy to lug home). yeah, i miss the early days of ai art, tbh. Good tip on Marko! I loved Tomorrowx3, myself. Will check out those anthologies, cool!
